At your desired price point of under $100 for a 25 foot stereo pair of DIY rca interconnect cables, I suggest 50 feet of Mogami W2549 priced at $38.50 (77 cents per foot) from Performance Audio, and KLE Copper Harmony rca connectors priced at $39.99 per set of 4 from VH Audio.
Mogami W2549 features a served copper shielded 22 AWG twisted pair for low-noise and low-resistance, and it's of lower capacitance than a 4-conductor star quad cable for a long run of unbalanced single ended line-level cables.
The KLE Copper Harmony rca connector is a moderately priced, low-mass silver plated copper rca connector that is easy to terminate just about any cable with, and should provide good synergy with the inexpensive Mogami W2549.
Remember to solder the copper shield (along with the return conductor) only at the source end of each cable.
